TalendDate.parse returns unexpected result

[Anonymous]

The following expression,
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss", "23-Mar-1979 23:59:59")
gives me the output:
Fri Jul 30 23:59:59 CET 28
I wonder why is it giving me such an output.

OS: Windows XP
Current Locale: Sweden
Talend ETL : 2.3.1

Hi All,
TalendDate.ParseDate function in Talend to convert into Date Data type returns date in date data type but the date patterns is something else which is unexpected .
for eg.
I want to convert following string into date data type.
TalendDate.ParseDate("MM/dd/yyyy","09/18/2013")
The Above function returns me the date in date data type but the format of that is like "18-SEP-2013"
I want the output in "MM/dd/yyyy" means "09/18/2013" formats only.
can anyone suggest me how to overcome this issue.
Thank you in advance.
with kind regards,
Shailendra S.

Hi
Which is your output component? It is tLogRow? What's the date pattern on the schema? Set the date pattern to the format such as "MM/dd/yyyy" according to your need.
